Chapter 222
Chapter 226: End (Four)
Nie is not an ordinary survivor.
There is nothing special about normal survivors except that they are stronger. In fact, Huanggami is not someone who does not have special abilities. Since the seven cities were discovered, the descendants of those who have inherited the abilities of those demons are also very likely to have special abilities. Over the past hundred years, there have been more and more people with special abilities among the nobles, and nearly one-third of the nobles have special abilities.
Their abilities are usually tied to the demon gods that empowered them, and inherit one or more abilities from those demon gods, stronger or weaker.
Nie also has special abilities, but it doesn’t seem to come from the same source as those nobles. Every time he fights, his strength seems to be stronger. So he was only twelve years old, and his strength was twice that of an adult male.
He often felt that a powerful force was sealed in his body, but he was unable to exert it due to the weakness of the container.
This is Nie’s secret. He didn’t plan to tell Chao Ci, but he didn’t plan to hide it from him. After all, this man had seen him hunt the black rock beast alone, and it seemed that he couldn’t hide his unusualness.
Fortunately, as long as you are strong enough, not many people will care where your power comes from.
Therefore, his attitude towards the court speech is neither to hide nor to inform.
And this man didn’t seem to show much curiosity. He seemed to take it for granted that a twelve-year-old boy had such power. He usually didn’t pay attention to where Nie’s power came from, but on some Weird aspect.
“Eating black stone beasts every day, I want to change the taste.” Chao Ci wiped his mouth, looking at something that looked like a rabbit flashing across the desert, greedy.
“…”
Nie glanced at him, somewhat wanting to push this guy into the swamp he just passed.
Nie used to hunt only once three days ago, and it didn’t always succeed. It was common for him to fail and be hungry, but since he brought this guy, he seemed to panic when he didn’t eat a meal. Calling hungry every day, Nie was entangled by him and had no choice but to go hunting every day.
Fortunately, his current strength is enough to support his hunting of this intensity, and if he is injured, Chao Ci will help him treat him. After two or three months, Nie’s strength has improved a lot.
Now that Nie has two mouths with both hands, there is still a surplus. The two often go to the nearby market town to exchange some necessary supplies, and at the strong request of Chao Ci, they exchanged some deadly expensive seasoning for seasoning, which is tasteless. Black Stone Beast Meat.
Nie also saw the passing creature. It was a gray rabbit, but it was different from the gray rabbit that ordinary people understood. It was just that the survivors were used to this simple and rude method of naming. The gray rabbit here is one meter long, and it is ferocious by nature and extremely fast. The hunting difficulty is much higher than that of the black rock beast.
Nie looked back at Chao Ci coldly.
Having been accustomed to being hungry since he was a child, he felt that being able to fill his stomach was the ultimate requirement. He couldn’t understand why Chao Ci was so obsessed with taste.
He didn’t think it was necessary, and decided that if Chao Ci continued to talk nonsense, he would not buy seasonings for Chao Ci next month.
Today they hunted a black rock beast as usual.
They were lucky that night and found a cave.
After the two had eaten, Nie was going to sleep directly, but Chao Ci took out the quilt and pillow that Nie bought for him, but didn’t really want to sleep.
Then he woke Nie up as usual.
“Why?” Nie opened his eyes and looked at him with a stinky face.
He thought that Chao Ci was going to pester him to tell him stories or something, and Chao Ci would say this nonsense every night.
This time, however, it was different. Chao Ci approached him mysteriously and said, “I went to that market town a few days ago, and they said that tonight is the Fengqian Festival. It seems that you will grow a year older after this festival. ”
Fengqian Festival, the name sounds good, but in fact it is still a simple and rude naming style.
There will be three months of wind in the desert. It is not very windy at first, but it will intensify day by day. In the first two months, people were able to go out, but in the third month, they had to close their doors and stay in their residences for a month. Fengqian Festival means that the day before the strong wind blows, from the first day after the Fengqian Festival, the drought will start to be windy.
The Fengqian Festival predicts that the survivors should actively store food in the next two months, otherwise the month when they can’t go out may not last. But because that month was the most leisurely day of the year for the survivors, there seemed to be nothing else to do except primitive sports. Over time, the Fengqian Festival seemed to be a blind date event for the single survivors.
It is said that they will burn a huge bonfire in the center of the town, where unmarried men and women will meet.
Since the period after this is the climax of the birth of newborns, and birthdays are not happy in the desert, it was later agreed that after the Fengqian Festival, everyone will be one year older.
So today Nie is thirteen years old.
Listening to Chao Ci’s words, Nie nodded casually, and the three words “So what?” were written brightly in the eyes of Chao Ci.
“No, just curious, what kind of girl will you find in two years.” Chao Ci looked at him with a smile.
“…” Nie was too lazy to pay attention to him, “boring.”
“It’s so boring, you’re weird, okay? They said that there are a lot of boys looking for girls at the age of thirteen. Why are you not interested at all?” Chao Ci poked Nie’s face.
Nie didn’t want to talk about this stupid question.
However, he had already discovered that even if Chao Ci was ignored by him, he could chat happily by himself.
Chao Ci frowned and said, “Even if you’re not yet fifteen years old, it stands to reason that your development is almost there. Could it be that you…”
The survivors did develop very early. Their thirteen years were equivalent to sixteen or seventeen in the normal world. How could boys of this age still care about the opposite sex?
As Chao Ci said, he leaned towards Nie’s lower body.
Nie’s eyebrows jumped fiercely, and his movements were extremely sharp to avoid, and then the whole face went dark.
“Are you crazy?!” He sat up straight and looked at Chao Ci with a bad expression.
“The response is quite fast…” Chao Ci muttered, “I’m just a little curious.”
“Could it be that you developed late?” He looked at Nie, “It seems so, you are a head shorter than me now.”
The two months he and Nie were together, Nie Ju had grown a lot taller, but he was still a head shorter than Chao Ci. According to the developmental law of the survivors, they should have developed almost by the age of thirteen.
“Or you don’t like girls?” As if thinking of some great secret, he suddenly approached Nie’s cheek and observed him carefully as if he were looking at something novel.
“Are you sick?” Nie asked through gritted teeth.
“No.” Chao Ci pinched Nie’s face, “I just thought, it’s fine if you don’t like girls.”
In fact, there are not many women in the desert, because their strength is not as good as that of men, and they are easy to die. Therefore, the phenomenon of two male partners often occurs. In a precarious place, no one cares about this kind of thing, and it is nothing new.
“What?” Nie asked in a bad tone.
“Then I don’t worry that you will find a little girl and leave me when you become an adult.” Chao Ci blinked, “Why don’t you just marry me when you are an adult?
Nie actually didn’t know what it meant that the fat and water did not flow to the outsider’s field, but Chao Ci often said some strange things, and he was used to this.
This sentence can be understood literally, and it is easy to understand. For a moment, Nie Dun quickly understood the meaning of Chao Ci’s words.
Suddenly, he didn’t know whether to be ashamed or angry, and he blushed every time from his face to his neck.
“You have no shame!” He growled lowly, turned around, and decided that it was absolutely impossible to talk to this guy again tonight.
What the **** happened to this man, he was only thirteen years old, and he said these words to himself?
Just so thirsty? Can’t wait a year or two?
He was so confused, he didn’t even know what he was thinking.
In addition to these chaotic thoughts, the picture just now played repeatedly in my mind, and the man with red lips and cold skin like a ghost asked him if he could marry him when he was an adult…
His face is really white, his lips are so red, and he looks soft and smooth. I don’t know what it feels like to poke it…
The more he thought about it, the more confused the expression on his face became.
What was he thinking, how could he like this kind of person? !
Nie Chang is so old and has never seen such a shameless person, even a minor is bewitched!
“Hey, are you angry?” Chao Ci poked Nie’s shoulder.
“…” Nie said nothing.
“Don’t be angry.” Chao Ci stood up and walked across from Nie.
Nie Zheng wanted to turn over again, but was held down by Chao Ci’s hand.
“Don’t be angry, I’m just joking.” Chao Ci said with a smile.
“…”
Seems to be more angry.
Damn, if this person is serious, he will be angry, but if he is joking, he seems to be even more angry!
This kind of emotion Nie himself didn’t know what was going on, it only made his face more and more stinky.
“As an apology, can I teach you how to read, okay?” Chao Ci said.
Nie opened his eyes slightly, a little surprised: “You can read?”
In the wasteland, writing is something only nobles can know, and ordinary small nobles can’t recognize a few words.
If a person is proficient in writing, even if he does not have the status of a nobleman or a passport, he can obtain the qualification to settle in the six cities.
“What is writing, I know a lot of things.” Chao Ci said lazily, “I can teach you everything you like, although those things are useless in this place.”
But it must work for you.
In the era when Chao Ci was born, the society of that world was still in the wild. They ruled that world, but it didn’t really mean anything. Later, most of the time, Chao Ci was actually sleeping, sleeping for hundreds of years, and then woke up and played for hundreds of years, which was much more interesting.
Every time after sleeping and waking up, those interesting human beings will come up with many novel things, which can make Chao Ci play for a while, and continue to sleep when they are tired of playing.
Nie was a little surprised, he sat up and asked, “How to teach?”
“Teach it directly.” Chao Ci said, found a dead branch in the cave, and wrote it directly on the ground.
He wrote a few simple Latin texts. Yes, the common script of Arashi is Latin, perhaps this has something to do with the power of the demon gods inherited by those nobles. Theoretically, as a collection of countless worlds, there should be countless kinds of characters in it.
Nie stared at the words on the ground and studied them very seriously.
Since then, Nie has spent two hours every night studying with Chao Ci. Chaoci teaches not only words, but also a lot of knowledge. But he didn’t teach things very well. He taught a little when he thought of it, and it was Nie Congming’s fault. Otherwise, he would be confused by his teaching.
Nie’s hunting behavior became more frequent during the day. The pre-wind season was over, and it was time for him to stock up on food during the strong wind.
The last month of the three months was directly called the “windy period” by the survivors. Chao Ci and Nie spent the windy season in a sturdy cave. This year, Nie’s strength has grown significantly, and they were not hungry during the windy season.
Once the windy season is over, they continue to wander in the wild. At the strong request of Chao Ci, the two walked to the south.
About 500 kilometers south, there is a huge ruin. A long time ago, there were still a lot of metal and some strange things on the ruins, but after countless years, the useful things were taken away, leaving only the endless ruins.
Nie didn’t know why Chao Ci came here. Chao Ci only said that there were good things. The two spent more than a month to get there, and Chao Ci led Nie to an extremely hidden basement entrance.
There was nothing in it, except a pile of books, and some long-defunct machines.
Looking for these things can be regarded as a waste of time and effort. It is difficult to find some paper that has written down in the current wasteland, let alone find books.
This was something he finally discovered during his wandering for hundreds of years.
Chao Ci also found some barely usable parts from those scrapped machines and assembled a small robot that only reached his calf.
Nie looked at the little robot walking all over the floor and the thousands of books in front of him, a little unbelievable.
“who are you?”
